Public bug reported:
cd to your $HOME and without entering anything at the prompt, hit TAB.
I get the error in the Subject.
The bug seems obvious: in /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion,
line 710 you have:
[[ $cword -eq 0 ]] && return 1
but `set -x` in a bash and doing the above shows $cword to be -1, thus
the following line (711):
prev=${words[cword-1]}
fails with the error.
The fix is easy. s/-eq/-le/ on 710.
